MORTON GROVE, ILL. — Xylem Inc., a leading global water technology company focused on addressing the world’s most challenging water issues, announced the release of its new white paper, “A Systems Approach to Energy and Water Efficiency in Commercial Buildings.”

As the name suggests, the white paper focuses on the challenges designers and managers of commercial buildings face today with the ever-increasing demands to improve the energy and water efficiency of their buildings.

As the complexity of building systems continues to increase, the challenge of designing, installing and operating these systems also increases. New building codes continue to raise efficiency standards for new and existing buildings; economic conditions pressure organizations to cut energy costs wherever possible; and new corporate sustainability initiatives require steady efficiency improvements.

In response, architects and specifiers of new commercial buildings, as well as facility managers of existing buildings, are increasingly adopting a new systems approach to energy and water efficiency improvements.

The white paper also addresses the systems approach that is being adopted in the design, procurement, installation, operation and maintenance of buildings. Using a systems approach helps achieve compliance with existing and emergency building codes, maximizes energy and water efficiency, and helps meet corporate sustainability goals while creating comfortable and efficient building environments.

Xylem’s Applied Water Systems comprises global brands that produce energy-efficient pumps, boosters, drives, valves, controllers and water systems support for numerous applications in building services, general industrial, food and beverage, marine and agricultural markets.
